Explanation of Six Yang Meridians “Dominating in Bodily Diseases” / 上海针灸杂志

ABSTRACT

The description of the circulation of qiand blood in twelve meridians and the symptoms of diseases in which they dominate inMiraculous Pivot·Meridianshas a certain guiding significance for clinical diagnosis and treatment. But in the book, six yang meridians “dominating in bodily diseases is considered as “fluid”, “humor”, “qi”, “blood”, “sinew” and “bone” dominating in bodily diseases. That is puzzling and prone to doubt. The authors perform a multi-angle analysis from the characteristics of circulation of qi and blood and functional activityof qi in meridians and give a reasonable explanation by referring also to other sections and chapters inHuangdi’s Internal Classic.
